I enjoy onceptualizing innovative design solutions, focusing specifically on visual interaction and interface design, accessibility, and design systems. Former product designer at Allegion, e-commerce designer at hhgregg and interface designer at Indiana University. Peak my interest with conversation around interface design or design systems.
During the release of the Overtur web application, it was brought to the teams attention that some of the functions used in the application would need be able to be accessed "on the go." Hence, the creation of the mobile app for Overtur. The goal of the design of the mobile app to provide the ability to verify door openings and hardware information on the go. The challenge was communicating the web application's design to a mobile environment while transferring over several core functions.

Final Thoughts
I previously did not have extensive experience designing for mobile applications—my background was primarily in responsive web design—so this was my first project working within a mobile app environment.
Through user input and testing, I recognized that I still had room to grow in mobile application design. However, I also reaffirmed that a strong user experience remains essential across all media types.
This project also gave me valuable insight into the business side of design. I learned the importance of not only meeting business requirements but also ensuring that the user’s perspective is represented throughout the process. Clear and consistent communication became increasingly important, especially as the business team expanded and transitioned project ownership. Maintaining straightforward communication with all team members was key to keeping the design process on track.
Once the functionality was finalized and validated by users, development began, bringing the full experience to life.
